  16. Clearing Identified Noncompliance

  17. The Two Prongs of Correction

  18. Plan for Correction • Plan for Correction due in 30 days • Districts develop an action plan for correcting any noncompliance identified through the Self-assessment and desk review • Corrective action plan MUST include strategies and timelines for achieving compliance

  19. Individual Corrective Action Plan (I-CAP) • I-CAP: District corrects individual student noncompliance and submits documentation of correction no later than December 31, 2014 • Documentation showing correction for each individual student must be mailed or faxed to DESE • DESE Compliance Supervisors will review the documentation • Approval will be documented in IMACS and the I-CAP cleared • ALL I-CAPS MUST be cleared as soon as possible but no later than December 31, 2014 unless there are special circumstances approved by your Supervisor

  20. I-CAPs in IMACS

  21. Follow-up Timeline Submission • Follow-up Timeline Submission are required for any timelines submitted during the Self-assessment that were less than 100% in compliance • Initial Evaluations • Include all students (ineligible and eligible) • Part C to Part B Transition • Include all students referred from Part C whose referral date and birthday fall within the data collection period • Data collection for Timelines will cover the period from the date of the Final Report through March 15, 2015 • Follow-up Timeline(s) are due March 20, 2015

  22. I-CAPs as a Result of Exceeding Timelines • Individual student noncompliance as a result of exceeding the timelines MUST also be corrected • The LEA MAY chose to provide compensatory services retroactive to the correct eligibility determination date • The LEA MAY chose to conduct an IEP meeting to discuss whether FAPE was provided due to the delay in providing special education and related services as a result of the delay in eligibility • I-CAPs must be corrected by December 31, 2014

  23. Evidence of Correction • District submits multiple samples of compliant documentation to demonstrate correction of noncompliance to bring district back “in” compliance” no later than April 1, 20145 • Documentation showing examples of compliance for each indicator identified must be mailed or faxed to DESE • DESE Compliance Supervisors will review the documentation • Approval will be documented in IMACS and the CAP Indicator cleared • ALL CAP Indicators MUST be cleared by September 1, 2015

  24. Implications • ALL noncompliance must be corrected within 12 months of the date of the Final Report • Enforcement actions may be imposed for any noncompliance not corrected within 12 months of the date of the Program Review Report
